In response to many requests from parishioners to form a Filipino ministry, the HTP Filipino Community Ministry was officially organized. This new ministry will serve as an additional support system for our parishioners. What is unique about the Filipino Community Ministry is that it facilitates the inculturation and integration of Filipino parishioners into the larger faith community and shares the richness of the Filipino culture and religiosity. Since its inception last month, the ministry has had 60 members join.

This ministry is open to all parishioners.

If you would like to be a part of the Filipino Ministry, please leave your name, email address and phone number at the Parish Office.

Join us for a meeting on Thursday, November 14, at 6:00pm at the Media Center in the Education Center.
